Integration with rivescript.js and other bot scripting languages

[jay-jlm]

Hi, what is the status of this project?
Are you still planning to further develop this?

I really like the idea of Yowl and I'm wondering how nice does the dialog manager would play along a bot dialog scripting language such as rivescript.js?

For me it would make a lot more sense if the reply/response logic itself was pluggable, ie, support both a simple built-in solution but also more advanced options such as rivescript, and have the main focus of this lib to be about the conversation flow logic, ie, the steps and the logical branching of the conversation.

What do you think?

Hey! I had a million things come up and got sidetracked but this project should be getting some love in the near future.

My goal for yowl is to keep it simple and pluggable like express/connect/koa (which it is modeled after), so I would see an integration with rivescript being a separate module rather than something that is directly built into this project.

It does look like something that would be really high value though. I've been meaning to put together a roadmap for things and I'll add a rivescript module on it.
